What does SGB do?
The Student Government Board has four primary areas of responsibility, each equally important and valuable to the student body and campus community.
Campus Representation:
Members of the SGB serves as student representatives to the 36 university committees, ranging from Athletic Policies to the Traffic Bureau to the University Senate. In addition, members also serve on other committees such as scholarship selection committees and advisory boards.
Funding:
The board allocates funds generated from collection of the Student Activity fee (collected from all undergraduate students enrolled for a minimum of 4 credit hours) and allocates them to the student organizations programs. Through these allocations, organizations as bearfest, concerts, Homecoming weekend, and St. Patties Day on the Hill and many others.
Recognition of Student Organizations:
Through the constitution approval and funding processes, the SGB determines which groups can enrich the student body by providing unique chances for students to explore leadership opportunities which compliment classroom instruction or provide for a constructive use of free time.
Service Provision:
As the representative assembly of the student body, the SGB also works closely with the Kutztown University Student Service Incorporated (KUSSI) to provide services to both individual students and student organizations. Commencement regalia and graduation ticket distribution, vehicle rentals, and management of the Student Bookstore are just a few examples of the services provided.
